Refresh with Neutrals

Sometimes, all it takes is the right combo of neutrals to bring your space back into balance. This was the case in Iowa-based photographer Brooke Pavel’s living room, which feels crisp and modern thanks to a duo of Clare colors. For the walls, she landed on Fresh Kicks—our brightest white—to create a clean backdrop that makes the space feel full of light. The trim, which was once a dark and dated wood, is now coated in On Point, a neutral greige, adding a subtle but still neutral contrast to the walls.

If your bedroom is feeling a little bland, paint is your no-fail secret weapon to making everything feel fresh and new. There are tons of interior paint ideas you can use to spruce up your space, including the one here that features our creamy off-white, Timeless. It’s the perfect complement to all the classic details in the space, like vintage closet doors, thoughtfully curated second-hand furnishings and textiles in warm tones. Give it a try in your next project to see how clean and calming it makes your space feel!

Get Colorful in the Kitchen

DIYers Mackenzie and Chance of @homebody_hq are here to show you that small spaces can (and should) be beautiful—and colorful, too! Bring a personality-filled, moody vibe to the kitchen with a fresh coat, as they did with our deep and dreamy green Current Mood. If you’re worried about going all-in on color, give their interior paint ideas a try and paint just the lower cabinets—an easy way to incorporate color without painting the entire space in a bold hue. But don’t forget about painting the walls! Here, shiplap painted in off-white Timeless creates a cozy and inviting backdrop for open shelving and kitchen accessories.

Make a statement like designer and Clare Collective ambassador Hema Persad to create an exterior look that’ll stand out on your block—in a good way!

Dare to Go Dark

Powder bathrooms are the perfect spot to try out a more daring paint color. Previously a cool gray with accent wallpaper, this bathroom now feels elevated and dramatic thanks to a coat of our deep navy Goodnight Moon on the walls. Add in some white accents and brassy metals to really up the luxe factor and make everything pop.
